THE LAST DAY.
Col. w. S. King Takes the Reins at
the ENpOSition.

Col. w. S. King took up the man
agerial reins at the Exposition yester-
day, and the building was transformed
into mimic paradise, where flowers
were festooned and flags fioated from
every possible column and rail. The
ground floor took on the appearance of
acountry fair IA sawduSt track was there,
the creased pole proudly stood alOft, the
master of ceremonies and his
aides were busy arranging the sublime
exercises. which were followed by the
Sublimer procession of sacred animals,
collected at great expense and trouble
by Maj. Gore. This part of the pro-
gramme was grand, but in the history
of Minneapolis no such procession was
ever organized as paraded through
the building from headquarters,
under the leadership of Col.
the days fun. Mr.. King having her
aided the gang into line, got up to the
head and yelled at the top of his voice.
Is VIII Steele here? and the answer
came, yes, VIII Steele is here. Then,
roared the colonel, let the procession
start, and she went. Here is the order:

After parading all over the building
they reached the scene of encounters,
and the fun began i'll earnest. Every
body laughed. 1t was irresistible; such
situations, such laughter, such fun.
Minneapolis has never before witnessed
the like. Bill King was in his glory.
The pacing match, the creased pole and
the wild attempts the youngsters made
to reach it-thiS will not soon be for
gotten, nor the sack race, nor the tub
match in the pond, and when the
happy boys would get ducking from
the tub the fun waXed loud and
furious. and the shouts and applause
were deafening. Maj. Gore tried to
do the three-card-mOnte act at the fair,
and got incontinently arrested Then
the judges ran to the rescue of Gore.

ing amid scene of indescribable riot,
upr0ar and fighting. The proceedings
Opered up by Col. William S. King in
PRODUCING Maj. c. Nee. Reeve, who
would deliver an agricultural address,
fraught with the deepest interests. Fol-
lowing are the remarks he made:
Honor the pumpkin vine
Long may its tendrils Irvine
Over the land.
Blessed be those who wear
Crisp hayseed i'll their hair,
Glorious band.
Fellow farmers, these verses with which
will precede my lecture wildly recall the
glorious times of farmers life and the ab-
sence from care they enjoy, except when the
ehinch bug and grasshopper once in while
trouble them. He was glad to attend
this magnificent county fair, presided
over by the illustrious farmer, Col. Bill King;
he was glad to see around him so many illus
trlous farmers. There for instance was
Farmer Camp, great judge of horses and
mules, he was a well known raiser of young
colts, because he had often been seen playing
with three. jacks. Farmer Fletcher had
lately bought COW from Farmer Washburn
and had turned his attention to raising milk
He was glad to see Farmer Koon make
such an elegant display of vegetables
glorious round of fun, but it beat him how
on earth when he put his hand into his
pocket to get his knife, and cut himself lose
he found instead huge cucumber gone to
seed; but confound it all, it must be on ac-
count of this county fair, and he would not
detain them any longer, but let the fun begin
at once.
Pacing match-Little Brown jug beat
Johnston. Willie Welsh rode him to the
winning post.
Sack race-Leonard Day. first prize. s.:
Willie Eddy. second prize, So; Archie Moore
third prize, 50.
This brought the afternoon fun to an end,
but twas only rest. At 7:30 o'clock the
managerial office resembled a magazine ex-
ploding, as cracker after cracker
Tent f 9 and b the second
managers, were all ornamented with enor-
nous stars and enwreathed in streamers and
smiles Charley W. johnson kept time in
great shape. Will Steele was heard boasting
he was the greatest starter of horse race in
the world. and only that he was millionaire
ye know; he would join the profesh. E.
r. Barber danced the can can
in his excitement when deciding
the pacing race. Corp. Jones and Maj Camp
alternated between hugging one another and
roaring during the trotting contest, and at
the end fell to fighting over the result The
fun really started in the early morning Mr.
Byron slipped in at the tower entrance but
they were on TO him, and it cost him 50 be-
fore he got through. c. NJ. Palmer and Capt
Gilmore shared the same fate, and the repre

a pleasant feature of the evening exercises
was presentation to that extremely popular
musician Herr EWald StoltZ After he had
finished his magnificent trombone solo. and
ere the loud applause which ensued had
ended, Maj. Fred Bracket, on behalf of many
friends of this scholarly artist, made
neat little speech in his usual happy
manner, and then presented to the professor
magnificent maltese star in solid gold and
studded with precious stones, the professor
was taken completely by surprise, and an
swered in a very appreciative tone. The
cross is very beautiful and will be happy
reminder 10 Stoltz of what he characterizes
as a very pleasant engagement-his five
weeks stay In Minneapolis. Late i'll evening
Governor McGill, attended by some officials
made his appearance and was warmly
greeted, he seemed to hugely enjoy the fun
as well as the rest of them. The fun in the
evening even was a cong!omeration Of buffoonery,
high links and cutting up on grand scale
that almost turned old mems heads. and set
small boys crazy. Bombs were fired bells
tolled, whistles blew, bands played all the
tunes in the rainbow upside down. As the
hour for closing gathered nearer and nearer
louder and louder grew the racket till the
climax was reached as 1920 p. m. struck
and that told the hour for retiring. When
that solemn moment struck. tears fell from
the eyes of c. II. Palmer, George HUM.
Byron. Bill King, Frank Mead and many
more old veterans. In those tears the EXPO
